You know, even young girls can have huge differences in body shape. The most typical examples are Aqing and Master Hu. One of them is already close to the threshold of the Big Ball Rasengan, and the other is a Shenzhou tablet... If Hu Tao hadn't used a gun, Fang Yun would have suspected that she had practiced the Taixu sword energy!
Moreover, Charlotte, like Cole, had leg rings, and the effect of slightly tightening the skin on her snow-white thighs was something that only those who understood would understand.
Charlotte still thought that Fang Yun didn't understand the principle of the camera. After she confirmed again that there was no trace of Funina on the beach ahead, she temporarily stopped squatting.
She brought the camera in front of Fang Yun, slid the screen with her slender fingers, and demonstrated to him the function of adjusting the viewing distance.
"Lan Fangyun, you see, a camera can sometimes be used as a telescope. It is very effective for temporary reconnaissance or secret photography." When Charlotte talked about professional fields, her speech speed unconsciously increased, and she pushed the monocle on her left eye.
Now it was Fang Yun's turn to complain: "Nara Charlotte, can we really talk about secretly filming something openly? And... you'd better stop pushing the monocle, I'm scared."
The monocle always allows him to trigger certain PDSTs.
"Can what the journalists did be called candid photography? I have a strong sense of professional ethics! Except for criminals, I will obtain the consent of the person concerned before publishing photos!" Charlotte first raised her slime, which was about the same size as Yingmei, and then stared at him speechlessly: "You said you were afraid?"
If it was at the very beginning, she might really have thought Fang Yun was the cute Lanaro in the fairy tale, thinking that he was timid and cowardly.
But after following Fang Yun all the way from the rainforest to Fontainebleau, not to mention Fang Yun herself, even she had forgotten how to write the word fear.
Not to mention summoning the Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue, when Fang Yun was escorting her in the desert, the two encountered many ferocious and brutal beast hounds along the way, but they were either torn to pieces alive by Fang Yun, or had rotating light wheels stuffed into their mouths by Fang Yun, and then split in half.
But Fang Yun would sometimes add that the Beast Realm hounds have no sense of pain.
Charlotte believed that even those criminals who were stubborn in the face of duel agents would have to kneel down and beg for mercy after meeting Fang Yun. She had always been looking forward to taking action with Fang Yun.
Yes, the beautiful girl and General Lan investigate the case and fight against evil together, isn't this the perfect main plot? It would be even more interesting if she also had a brother who was in the villain camp!
"Lan Fangyun, don't be so modest." Charlotte's mouth twitched, but her green eyes soon sparkled. "You woke up at the right time. There will be a trial at the Opiclay Opera House tomorrow. I specially booked a front-row seat so that I can take you to see the Cardinal of Fontaine's Decree up close. You will definitely like this thing."
After all, she had promised Cole that she would take good care of Fang Yun. After Charlotte returned to Fontaine these two days, in addition to coordinating work with the Steam Bird News and helping Fang Yun keep an eye on Lady Funina's movements, she also wanted to do her best to entertain Fang Yun as a good host.
In her opinion, the Cardinal of Oracle and Judgment, who has gathered the power of Fontaine's belief in justice for almost five hundred years, must be very compatible with Fang Yun, who possesses the strongest righteousness. Maybe it can even trigger some reaction like "God's gift".
"I am quite interested in Fontaine's Judgment, but I'm not in a hurry." Fang Yun said calmly. Although he was not a time traveler from Fontaine's version, Xumi had the [Void] that could collect the power of the human world. This stapler probably worked on the same principle, so it didn't make him too excited.
Although Lei Dianying had reminded him that he could use the ability of "Dreamer" to complete the power of the ancient dragon and become a complete dragon by burning a large amount of willpower, he never thought that the Water God would give him the human power accumulated for nearly five hundred years.
Why didn’t you say that the water god would give himself to him as well!
and--
Fang Yun is also a man of integrity.
I don’t want the human power that’s not Inazuma’s!
In Charlotte's surprised eyes, Fang Yun's nationality seemed to have changed again, but within two seconds he adapted to the environment of Fontaine and even actively switched to a blue water element form.
Howling Tsunami!
He tapped his golden cane. "Well, Charlotte, first tell me why you came here to look for Funina. I didn't see her."
After switching to the water element form, Fang Yun felt like he was walking in the desert with the power of rock element, having a certain home advantage.
Although his combat power was limited by the incompleteness of the Law of Creation, it was not difficult for him to expand his perception range through the surrounding water sources. He could even sense some emotions hidden in the water. Therefore, he conducted a round of exploration while chatting with Charlotte just now.
Tide, I have returned!
Wait, I feel like someone has used this sentence first.
"Ah? Lady Funina is not here? I asked my colleagues for a long time before confirming it." Charlotte was a little surprised, but suddenly smiled: "That's right, Lady Funina's actions are always unpredictable. If I can guess the mind of the gods, it would be strange."
Seeing that Charlotte didn't care about the failure of the operation at all, and instead felt that losing to Funina was natural, Fang Yun couldn't help but ask curiously: "What kind of god is your water god?"
Although he learned a lot of information about Fontaine from the Great Mercy Tree King, it was basically about Egolia, and he didn't know much about Funina.
"Well... Lady Funina's behavior and words are a bit exaggerated. She even expressed her desire to judge General Raiden during an interview with my colleague some time ago. But she is still very popular among the people. In Fontaine, she is more like a big star in the opera house than a god."
"This can be traced back to five hundred years ago, when Lady Egolia fell in the Xumi Desert. Fontaine went through a period of turmoil because of this, and it was at that time that Lady Funina stepped forward."
"When she delivered her inaugural speech, many people questioned her qualifications as a god because of her weak performance, and even thought that she was a puppet put forward by the Privy Council to appease the people. But that was just a disguise of Lady Funina. After she revealed the truth, the people of Fontaine fell in love with this demon god who could bring everyone a dramatic turn of events."
Fang Yun nodded slightly, feeling that Funina was quite interesting. No wonder she was so popular among the people.
Besides, this guy is really a bit crazy. He actually wants to judge General Lei Dian. Who knows what kind of cards she is hiding... No, in this case, he has to infiltrate Finina to collect intelligence.
But at the same time, he found that the people of Fontaine had very strange ideas. In their eyes, such a serious matter as trying criminals was no different from a drama. They even held the trial in the opera house, which was too bad a taste.
"But there is something wrong with the Fontaine people... not only mentally, but also physically."
The Great Compassion Tree King had once hinted to Fang Yun, and now that he had obtained the water element form, he had also discovered some anomalies. For example, with Charlotte, Fang Yun felt that she possessed pure water element power.
But she is clearly the holder of the Eye of the Ice God, and this elemental power is rooted in her body, which is very strange and makes her seem like an elemental creature.
Fang Yun had no idea about this, but he did not sense Wuliutuo's aura on Charlotte, so he gave up after thinking about it.
He just had a slight thought, but Charlotte seemed to have sensed something and took two steps back.
"what happened?"
"Ahahaha, I don't know why, but when I see you, Lan Fangyun, transform into a water element, I'm always afraid that you'll hit me."
What he said is that Fang Yun never hits his teammates...using the Big Ball Rasengan or hitting with a stick are two different things!
Moreover, as Fang Yun became more and more proficient in the Rasengan, he felt that it had some beneficial effects on his teammates. When Fang Yun returned to Inazuma, he planned to help Kirara Ryo upgrade his Rasengan to prevent Kirara Ryo from performing legendary records like 8>50000.
But after hearing what Charlotte said, Fang Yun felt itchy and eager to fight, so he asked, "Are there any monsters to be cleared in Fontaine?"
"Ah? You want to fight again?" Charlotte blinked. "Aren't you going to see Lady Funina? Oh, by the way, Lan Fangyun, you haven't told me why you suddenly want to find her? You came to Fontaine just for the information that the Fatui took away from the human laboratory, right? Oh, and to investigate the serial disappearance of girls with me!"
She was not worried that Fang Yun would do anything bad to Funina. Not to mention that Fang Yun's sense of justice was absolutely trustworthy. From the perspective of strength alone, the Lord of Water dared to judge even the Thunder General, so he must be a figure at the level of the emperor of the world. Fang Yun was just a great Lannaro, and it was impossible for him to go against the emperor.
But no matter what, she always has to know her teammates' plans.
"It's not related to the case, but I'm personally interested in her and want to discuss something with her." Fang Yun explained briefly, "As for now, since it's difficult to meet her privately, let's change the route. Anyway, she's a big star in Fontaine, so it's easy to find her."
"Well, that's right. Lady Fininna will attend every trial in person. You can go to the Opikle Opera House with me tomorrow." Charlotte rubbed Fang Yun for a while. "But you also know that Lady Fininna's behavior is rather exaggerated. If you want to find her, you'd better wait until the trial is over, so as not to disrupt the order of the trial."
Fang Yun did not comment, he also had the same plan.
"Then, the remaining two cases are about to be dealt with." Fang Yun stroked his cane. "I heard you talk about the missing girl case. You have been secretly investigating it and have already found some clues. What about your progress on the Fatui side?"
When in Liyue, Fang Yun also inquired about the trial situation in Xumi.
Xumi had both witnesses and evidence, and Charlotte gave the written manuscript and photos to Seno before she left, asking him to publish them on the Steambird Newspaper after returning to the rain forest. Therefore, this case of human trafficking and human experimentation has caused great public opinion in the seven countries.
However, because the group of Fatui had a premonition that something was wrong, they brought all the data recording the experimental results over the years to Fontaine and handed it over to the doctor, resulting in Seno's side being unable to confirm the actual number of victims.
Although the number of people confirmed so far is enough to kill the Fatui dozens of times, it is still a bit unpleasant not to seek justice for everyone.
Fang Yun had anticipated this consequence at the time, so he decided to "quickly attack Fontaine" and, while the curse that Fox Palace had cast on the doctor was still in effect, send the doctor's only remaining slice on the road.
However, Charlotte shook her head gently. "I have investigated through the newspaper's connections, but you also know that the news of the executive officers is always secretive. I don't know the location of the Doctor. I can only find out that a group of Fatui did enter Fontaine from the desert before, but they did not enter the Fatui stronghold in Fontaine, the Buffati Mansion. Instead, they seemed to be driven out."
"Is it an internal conflict?"
"I don't know about this either, but... uh, Lan Fangyun, you may not believe it, but compared to other countries, the Fatui of Fontaine have been very well behaved in recent years. They are even preparing for the doomsday prophecy of Fontaine."
While Charlotte was speaking, she also introduced him to the situation of the Fatui in the Fontaine branch.
"You mean a few years ago, a big conflict broke out between the previous [servant] and the Hearth House, and he was eventually replaced by this Arlecino?"
"Yes, although Miss Arlecchino does not appear in public very often, she has kept the Fatui of the Fontaine branch under control much better than the servants of the previous generation. Lord Villette also thinks highly of her."
After Charlotte's explanation, Fang Yun roughly understood that this Alechino was actually a Fontaine Wolf!
Unlike her predecessor's servants, she was born in Fontaine. Her purpose of becoming an executive officer was probably to find a way to fight against the doomsday prophecy, so she has basically been active in Fontaine since taking office.
This is not surprising. The executors all have their own calculations. Even the young master of the Winter Solstice is more motivated by fighting. If we have to talk about loyalty, it depends on the lady.
"But if we want to investigate the location of this group of Fatui, we are not completely helpless. Because if they don't get the help of the Buffalo Mansion, given the slow efficiency of the Mo Mang Palace, it will be difficult for them to obtain the right to reside in Fontaine, and they will most likely run to the Grey River." Charlotte also complained about the Mo Mang Palace.
As for the Grey River located in the sewer, it is more complicated to explain. It involves the class contradictions in Fontaine and can be regarded as the "optimization" result of Fontaine's urbanization.
Fang Yun heard some problems, but didn't say much. Every country has its own problems. Just like the Liyue Seven Stars, which had always performed very well, didn't they still make a lot of extremely stupid decisions when faced with an immortal who could remove them from power with just one sentence?
In the original plot, if Zhongli had not given the immortals a dream and helped Qixing clean up the mess, the human-immortals in Liyue would have continued to make trouble for a while.
It is obviously unrealistic to expect all the nobles in Fontaine to be well-educated.
Charlotte made a summary: "In short, I still have some ideas for the investigation of Gray River. I have dealt with Miss Navia, the current leader of the Thorn Rose Society. Although her father... uh, I personally believe in the Thorn Rose Society. And if we want to investigate the missing girl case, we have to ask her."
"I understand. Then you can make an appointment to meet with her." Fang Yun still trusted Charlotte very much and treated her as a female secretary like Cole.
It’s strange, why does he seem to be able to hire a female secretary in every country!
Of course, compared to Charlotte, Fang Yun still prefers Cole wearing black stockings... He has always believed that the work ability of a female secretary is important, but what is more important is the effect of wearing stockings.
Speaking of which, we have to thank Amber. Fang Yun heard from Cole that Amber was the one who taught her how to dress. When she meets Cole formally next time as her original body, Fang Yun will ask Amber to recommend some more attack speed equipment.
Thank you, Amber!
I will help you take care of Cole and Eula!
But it was already late, and Charlotte would have to wait until tomorrow morning to make an appointment, so she decided to return to Fontaine to rest, and then go to see Naviya tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, she would take a patrol boat to the Opiclay Opera House to watch the trial.
Fang Yun wrote down the schedule, but he did not plan to return with Charlotte now. After asking about the gathering point of the wild monsters in Fontaine, he left.
As for how to find Charlotte later, there is no problem with that. Fang Yun has already marked Charlotte with his mental power.
Continuing along the beach where he had just been, Fang Yun arrived at the northwest outside the walls of Fontaine.
According to the information provided by Charlotte, there are two teams of out-of-control clockwork mechanisms and a lot of mechanical fish.
The country of Fontaine is quite peculiar. From organisms to soil to atmosphere to water veins, all contain wild or sharp energy. This energy is studied and utilized by the Fontaine Scientific Research Institute, and combined with sophisticated clockwork technology, a number of autonomous robots have been created.
These robots can function normally in most cases, maintaining urban security or clearing out monsters in the wild, but it can be very troublesome if they get out of control.
If the situation gets out of control in Fontaine City, the special patrol team can still deal with it in time, but if it gets out of Fontaine City, with the efficiency of Mo Mang Palace, the document review process alone will take several months. For example, the Fontaine Science Academy has been blown up, but the investigation and reconstruction have been delayed until now and the first step has not yet begun.
"So, although Fontaine seems to be developed, it is all based on the energy provided by the Cardinal of the Oracle. This extraordinary power allows Fontaine to maintain high-speed operation and cover up social contradictions, but it is ultimately just postponing the problem."
"Once this extraordinary power is gone, Fontaine's bloated system and the class conflicts between the nobility and the common people will completely erupt."
In comparison, although the shogunate seems to be a backward monarchy, the decrees issued by Fang Yun and Ying are basically executed very quickly.
If the supervision work and division of labor mechanism can be done well, and as long as there are no problems with the two people, the god and the king, the efficiency of the shogunate's operation will be the highest among all countries.
"It was right to go out more often. After returning to Inazuma, I roughly knew what to do."
Fang Yun was thinking in his mind, but his hands did not stop moving.
He had already arrived at the location by now, and saw a clockwork mechanism holding a sword moving around like a patrol on the beach walkway in front of him. Once it detected the movement of any living creature around, it would activate the attack mechanism and kill it.
However, facing Fang Yun, these clockwork mechanisms are too fragile.
He intended to try out the power of the water element form, so he did not transform, but simply raised his palm forward to try out the water control effect of the elemental combat skills.
A large amount of water elemental power gathered in front of him, turning into a huge surging water column that pushed forward.
boom!
The clockwork mechanism was hit by the water column without any reaction because it could not detect Lanaro. Along with the unpleasant sound of gears breaking, its body was hit hard by the water column and then fell heavily on the beach.
But Fang Yun was a little unhappy because the damage was too low.
Even though he was far from using his full strength, if it were in any other form, the clockwork mechanism would have been shattered long ago and it would not have been able to maintain its intact shape.
However, the effect of the water column gave Fang Yun some inspiration, so...
He started to turn.
Fang Yun spun rapidly on the spot, and the water columns instantly hit the surrounding clockwork mechanisms. Relying on high-frequency attacks, he finally achieved the effect that Fang Yun had expected.
But after thinking about it carefully, it won't work. Instead of spending time spinning around or developing some waterfall technique, he might as well just use the wooden man, wooden dragon, and the flower tree world to deal as much damage as possible.
I don’t understand. I’m playing a vegetable!
"The form of this water element is outrageous. It actually requires a calm mind to exert its full strength." Fang Yun sighed and continued his research based on the principle of not wasting anything. Anyway, there was still a team of clockwork mechanisms to deal with.
...
at the same time.
Funina also came to the northwest beach of Fontaine.
She was still wearing an elegant blue dress, but compared to the elegant and noble appearance of a deity in Mo Mang Palace, she now looked more like an ordinary little girl out for fun, with the blue hair on her head curled up in a happy arc.
but.
This is exactly the identity she longs for, she no longer wants to be an actor.
The people of Fontaine were immersed in her performance and envied her happy life as a god, but only she knew what a torture it was to act for nearly five hundred years.
She was just an ordinary human being, without even the Eye of God. In order to play the role of the God of Water, she lived in fear almost every day. She had forgotten when to cry and when to laugh, and she was like a puppet bound by the identity of the God of Water.
Therefore, she chose to come to the wild alone...The water in Fontaine is clear and broad, the scenery is beautiful, and there are many cute animals. No one here will care about her identity as the water god, so she can temporarily take off the mask.
It can be said that this is an important means for Funina to maintain her own humanity. Without this relaxation, she would have gone crazy long ago.
